> A little boy asked his mother "Why are you crying?"
> "Because I'm a woman", she told him.
> "I don't understand", he said.
> His mum just hugged him and said, "And you never will"
> Later the little boy asked his father, "Why does mother seem to cry for
no
> reason?"
> "All women cry for no reason", was all his dad could say
> The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why women cry.
> Finally he put in a call to God; and when God got on the phone, he
asked,
> "God, why do women cry so easily?"
>
> God said:
> "When I made the woman she had to be special. I made her shoulders
strong
> enough to carry the weight of the world; yet, gentle enough to give
comfort"
> "I gave her an inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection
that
> many times comes from her children"
> "I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going when everyone else
> gives up, and take care of her family through sickness and fatigue
without
> complaining ".
> "I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all
> circumstances, even when her child has hurt her very badly".
> "I gave her strength to carry her husband through his faults and
fashioned
> her from his rib to protect his heart".
> "I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife,
but
> sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him
> unfalteringly".
> "And finally, I gave her a tear to shed.
> This is hers exclusively to use whenever it is needed."
> "You see:
> The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that
she
> carries, or the way she combs her hair."
> "The beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes, because that is the
doorway
> to her heart - the place where love resides."
